Dear Striped Bass Fisherman – our favorite fish is struggling, and Stripers Forever, a free-membership, internet-based organization needs as many members as possible to continue the momentum gained when President Bush recently signed the Executive Order establishing game fish status for all striped bass in Federal waters - the EEZ. Stripers Forever was an importrant part of a collaborative effort to secure this designation. Now we need to get those states that still allow commercial fishing in the near-shore waters to grant wild striped bass game fish status as well. You can be a part of this success but only if you participate.
If you're not already a member of Stripers Forever, here are a few things you should know:
Ø Membership is free
Ø There are no meetings to attend
Ø Everything is done via the internet and e-mail
Ø Many of the top fisherman in the country support Stripers Forever
Ø Stripers Forever’s only goal is to make striped bass a game fish, meaning it would be managed for the benefit of the fishing public, now and for future generations
Here is all that you have to do: it will take less than a minute and cost nothing:
Ø Go to www.stripersforever.org
Ø Select "Become A Member"
Ø Complete the very easy to follow sign-up sheet.
